Flies.


After house. cleaning is done we have
conquered the dirt. and think we can rest
a while on our laurels; but We find another
foe awaiting us-a winged adversary to
whom use-cleaning is delight-for no
sooner do We get our windows shining
clean than they come by dozens, and
dance up and down the glass, and hold
caucuses on the door panels, seeming to
think house-cleaning has been done
especially for their benefit. Now, We have
decided objection to this. 1t is easier to
keep them out than to drive them out after
they get in. 10 this end, put up the bars,
and do it early. It does not cost much to
have wire screen for every window and
door in the house, and then We kill two
birds with one s:one-for no sooner do the
flies stop buzZing and camp out for the
night than the mosquitoes wake up and
continue the strain-and we shut them out.
IT you live where wire screens arc not to
be had, common netting (black is the least
conspicuous), and pine frames answer u
good purpose; even il you cannot get those.
the netting can be tackled on the outside of
the window with strip of cambria to hold
it firm. Keep out the flies some way, not
only for the sake of keeping clean, but for
clearly about themselves. See them make
their toilet many times day-yet they go
into very dirty places. Physicians tell us
they carry and spread disease. Think
how they travel! Why may they not carry
contagious diseases? We cannot be too
careful to exclude them from our food,
our sick-rooms (what an annoyance they
are to q sick person only those know who
have suffered from them) and our houses
altogether. Several years ago, sitting near
window, noticed fly buzzing on
window-sill; he seemed clumsy; would fly
a little, then stop and clean his wings and
body with his feet-after the manner Of

scope and looked through it. The fly was
covered with little brown parasites, SO
small that could not see them with the
naked eye. No wonder it was clumsy! I
took a fine needle and pushed one off. 1t
chung with its proboscis, just as plant
aphis does on the leaf of plant. The fly
seemed to like my efforts in its behalf and
kept still. felt that 1 must cremate it
and its companions together; while doing
this, made up my mind that no more flies
should come inside my dwelling-if
could help it. II would fight it out on
that line if il took all summer" like our

But one of the most significant facts in
the whole matter is the excellent gains
made by the cross-bred cattle, and this is
on the common cattle of the country.
Some of the hest gains at our fat-stock
shows have been by grades, and hence no
man need feat loss in the breeding of

well-bred, stnnch, meaty sires. But do
not "putter" 1t beef-raising. Make up
your mind to feed we'll, and from the
birth of the calf. You cannot make money
letting animals lose in winter half the flesh
they have gained the previous summer.
Whether for beef, labor, or milk an animal
must be kept growing right along, though
the feeding may be different for the three
classes. If You determine to do this the
sooner You get good sires, not only for
beef and milk but for farm horses, the

with unvarying certainty. 1t seems but
as yesterday to those actively engaged in
the duties and responsibilities of life that
the year just ended began its existence.
Standing at the threshold of the New
Year and looking in imagination across the
future to the close OF 1887, 1t seems to be

over it with lightning rapidity and when
the close comes shall be wondering as
now at the heetness of time and the brief
span which a year fills.
In entering upon the New Year we
form new plans, new resolutions, and
usually have brighter hopes. Silently
and yet irresistibly an influence comes
over us leading TO the abandonment of
bad habits, wrong practices, and better
methods of living and acting. Happy

and lasting reforms and improvements
may be established in their lives the close

Senator Hale on HarbOr and Coast
Defence.

Senator Hale made an earnest and
strong speech at the banquet of the Boston
Merchants Association. Wednesday even
ing. OF which he was an honored guest,
in favor cf better national security and
defence. There had, he said, been built
up under our fiscal Legislation popula-
ton of sixty millions of people, which
was the wonder of the world. There was
general content and satisfaction with the
currency but, with all the wealth and pros
perity of the past the American seaboard
stood today as detenceless, as unprotected
as the islands of the Spanish Main and of
South America when the plunderers of
the 10th century were let loose upon them.
There was no such spectacle in the worlds
history. There were gathered on the
coast five billions OF property, and there
was not along the who.e line a single
fertilization worthy of the name.
A second class Spanish steamer could
penetrate to the centre of Alabama. A
war ship of the little country of Chill
could lay San Francisco under contrbu
ton or destroy it. The French iron clad
Devastation could lie in Boston harbor and
exact a ransom of 5000, 900 .00G from her
merchants. Questions were constantly
arising which might result in war. and
what would be the fate OF the American
coast cities then? There had been
trouble during the year with our
northern neighbors and the speaker
had good reasons TO believe that next sea
son every American citizen who goes into
the Canadian waters will be compelled
to interpret and obey the Canadian customs
regulations in the spirit of the Canadian
government Upon land America would
become an armed camp at the sound of
the bugle note of war, but upon the sea-
coast she would be unprotected.
Efforts had been made in congress to
guard against this danger, but they needed
to have the compelling force of public
sentiment behind them. He urged that
pressure ne OIuuSHt w pSti up'i WV ~

ton had something to do with bringing
this administration into power There
were a good many men here who had to
do with bringing the democratic party in
to power. who formerly had been engaged
in very different business. The great sage
OF the democratic party had left it as his
diving warning to his country that it pro-
vide Tor coast detences. and the district
attorney could not be in any better COM
